Perennial Bloom
Maintenance usually involves deadheading, yearly cleanup, some fertilizing, and watering as needed. This mix of nineteen varieties includes flowers from subtle to showy. The Perennial Bloom is a mix of many perennials that are the mainstay of many a garden. Most perennials have one blooming season a year, usually lasting from one week to more than a month. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. They provide an enormous array of colors, shapes, textures and bloom times, year after year. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun. In cool climates plant in the spring, 3 to 6 weeks before the last average frost date. Some of the perennials included are Basket of Gold, Black Eyed Susan, Blanketflower, Coneflower, Cottage Pinks, Shasta Daisy, Forget Me Not, and Mexican Hat. Most perennials require minimum maintenance once established. ... details
Carrot - Thumbelina The Thumbelina is a 1. 5 inches thick, almost round orange carrot. The first sowing should be 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost. Do successive planting every 3 weeks until 70 days before the first fall frost. In very warm climates carrots are grown primarily in the fall. The single most important factor in growing carrots is to have a deep, clod and rock free, well drained soil. Even moisture is essential. |
